The community rink at Kingsmere Park opened for skating today. Since it is the beginning of the season, the ice surface is a bit rough but it will get smoother over the next week. As well, the ice on the north side of the boarded rink is thin and so everyone is asked to stay away from the area marked off with caution tape for now.

Please observe physical distancing rules and see the City of Ottawa website for more details on COVID protocols for outdoor rinks. Per the latest guidance, a maximum of 25 skaters are allowed on the boarded ice at one time, and 15 on the puddle rink.

Thank you to the volunteers who worked hard in recent days to get the rink ready for the holidays!
